Turbo Steam Iron

Went for a short walk at the Raffles Place MRT atrium during lunch earlier last Friday and came across this particular make shift kiosk selling turbo steam irons. I stood by the kiosk for a while to watch the demo on the advantages of this iron.


When I saw how the promoter ironed a t-shirt with some plastic decals designs on it without damaging the decals, left the iron on plastic carrier bag, again without damaging the plastic nor the iron, I instantly made up my mind to buy the iron to help Marie with her ironing and also to minimise her burning especially my son's clothings!!


"Magical" Steam Iron

Marie confirmed that it is much faster to iron with this iron and yes, she confirmed that she could iron the plastic decals without damaging the pictures!  Money well spent.  Regular price according to the promoter is $79, roadshow promotional price is $53. 

Wati the Thief

Just found out that Wati got repatriated to her home over the last one or two days ago. She really got a good deal, I would think.

She stole more than $350 of my mum's money to buy herself a mobile phone without a contract, chalked up over $1,000 worth of IDD charges, stole a patient's mobile phone which apparently led to her arrest and all the punishment she got - repatriated home and never allowed to enter or work in Singapore again. BIG DEAL!

Like there is no where else in this world where she can work whether legally, illegally, morally or not - who cares, at least I dont give a shit!!  $1000 is not easy to earn and by sending her home is the simplest for her.  Sent her to prison or at least make her pay what's she had stolen before repatriating her.

I vaguely remember what the lecturer at the Singapore Poly who conducted the Employers' Orientation Course said about abusing maids in Singapore: If you hit me, you get fined $500 but you hit a maid, you get fined 10 times more! So maids in Singapore are very well taken care of!  She stole and all she got was a "free" airticket to home!
